Candidates come home as, in a rarity, NY primary matters

NEW YORK, N.Y. – The year’s biggest, wildest show is finally coming to Broadway.

And Brooklyn. And Buffalo. And Syracuse.

The presidential primary is descending on New York. The voting on April 19 will be the first time the state has a played a meaningful role in the nominating process in decades.

New York is a coveted prize, offering the most delegates of any contest left on the primary calendar until California votes on June 7.

Hometown candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have long eyed New York as a bulwark against their opposition. Now both need the state to provide a bounce-back victory after some disheartening defeats.

Both lead their parties’ delegate races, but lost in Wisconsin on Tuesday.
